Reference manual for the PCM API:

How about docs for the mixer interfaces? or a simple HOWTO.
Alsa/Jack is wonderful, and greatly more flexible than OSS, and is what linux
needs to move to more professional recording software, but it does take more
lines of code than OSS to do simple things. With OSS, I can have the device
opened and playing audio in about 5 lines of code.
OSS is dead. You should not be writing apps with
OSS.
Well, at least OSS has a programmer's guide (PDF
file):
http://www.opensound.com/pguide/oss.pdf
Equivalents exist there for the MIDI API and others.
